Giving Thanks...Day 7

Today, tonight actually, I am thankful for feeling better! I was hit with a bug of some sort Monday evening through this evening. I actually feel human and loving again! Wonderful Hubby came home early from work yesterday to take care of the family and only went into work this morning for a few things that had to be done. He became cook, taxi driver and bottle washer for the day! So I guess I have two things to be thankful for today!

Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral. The song above so much describes my mom. She loved her four children so very much! Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU. Once she started having children she gave up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom!

Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children!

I have a couple of pictures to share. Here is a picture of our newest grandbaby!

Introducing "Mildred Millie Maude". No, that is NOT her name. Let's just say when Son #2 and Daughter-in-law #2 decided on a name, before she was born, I would refer to her by her name-to-be. Not once did anyone ever correct me that I was pronouncing it wrong until about 5 days before she was born. Dear Son asked me to repeat her name, not once, not twice, but three times before I realized he was "making fun" of the way I was pronouncing the name. He is not the only one who poked fun at me. I guess I put the emphasis on the wrong syllable! So, this ol' Mammi decided to come up with a name until I can either take speech lessons and learn to pronounce it, or a nick name! {just a side note, Son is NOT impressed with my "name" for her. oh well, life goes on!}

Here is a picture of 8 of our nesters, and "guard" dog, Lucy. This was taken last night, October…
